Joyful Tastes of Life

Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service (VNS) will hold its third annual "Joyful Tastes of Life" benefit October 11, 2012, from 6 –9 p.m. at Todaro’s Party Center, 1820 Akron Peninsula Road, Akron. Presented by the Akron General Foundation, the event raises funds for end-of-life patient care and supportive services at Hospice of VNS.

The fundraiser will feature samples of wines from around the world, as well as signature foods from the area’s top restaurants. Music, a silent auction and raffle for a $1,500 vacation package to The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia round out the evening’s festivities. Only 1,500 raffle tickets are available, so the odds of winning are increased. The Greenbrier getaway includes a three-night stay for two with complimentary breakfast, and a $300 resort credit for food or activities.
